The Plugin Alliance has released the new Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A Limited Edition software emulation plugin, with Brainworx Audio adding more features to the emulation of the already modded hardware version.
With the limited edition, Shadow Hills Industries included an updated Class A discrete compressor section utilizing Lundahl input transformers as well as hand-wiring each compressor with Mogami Cable, a key factor when Brainworx modeled one of these limited units as it gave the limited edition version a different character to the original.
For this limited edition, Brainworx included its retractable Extra Unit, which provides: Brainworx’s TMT (patent-pending Tolerance Modeling Technology), M/S processing, Mono-Maker, Stereo Width, Parallel Mix, Sidechain Filter, continuously variable 12 dB per octave high-pass filter, and a Headroom parameter.
Visually, this version can also be distinguished by red LEDs on the front panel versus the green ones found on the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor — GREEN for the Drum Bus, RED for the Master.
